Impeachment

Government scandals have plagued our nation for many years. The Reagan Administration lead the way of one of the major scandals in our history, and the impacts of this scandal were treacherous. The trust of the people of the United States of America were what was destroyed. Reagan was believed to have been the key figure in these exchanges with Nicaraguan Contra, but he claimed to have known nothing about it. In total, 11 people were found guilty on the White House staff for many different…

state-wide constituents as well as local constituents. The Senate has a couple of important powers. One important power that the Senate has is to confirm appointments made by the President of the United States. The Senate also has the power to run impeachment trials. The longer terms that Senators have allow them to serve interests that are new and different.…

legislature and judicial. Despite this seemingly perfect model, the Founding Fathers were also cautious, upon realizing that the Roman Empire had developed from the Roman Republic, so they devised methods of diminishing exceeding powers (i.e. impeachment and vetoing). In doing so, the American government was successfully established through the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and a new America was recognized as…

overlap. A example of roles that are closely related by do not overlap is The Legislative branch, this branch is split into the House of Representatives, and the Senate. The House of Representatives has the sole power of Impeachment, and the Senate has the sole power of trials for impeachment. These roles of these two houses are very similar to one another,˛ but differentiate in the way they are conducted, and the guidelines for fulfilling the roles. Article 1 Section 1 Clause 1 expresses the…

Bill Clinton If I were to talk to Bill Clinton I would ask him what his thoughts are now, in retrospect, on lying to the American people about his relationship with the young aid Monica Lewinski, what advice he could give to President Donald Trump, and what his thoughts are on his wife losing the election. I think these are all really raw and juicy topics to talk to Bill about especially at a time when the nation is in such mental despair. The long term effects look quite different from…

lifetime tenure. I would prefer to have the Justices or Judges to serve at certain number of years like maybe 15 to 25 years. Lifetime tenure creates problems such as it allows bad Justices to remain at the bench for a long time except instances were impeachments against them prosper. Secondly, even the Justices are no longer productive and effective in doing their work they still enjoy the privilege on not getting fired from the job. Although,…

Texas Executive Branch Have you ever ask yourself if the state level executive branch is important? The answer is most defiantly yes, every branch of the state and federal government matter because of something called checks and balances. Checks and balances is a system that was created to make sure no branch of power gets more power than the other. Critics in the past have made points and arguments that the Texas Government is out of date, the governors office of Texas appears to be weak when…

The Constitution does not explicitly indicate the pre-eminence of any particular branch of government. However, James Madison wrote in Federalist 51, regarding the ability of each branch to defend itself from actions by the others, that "it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self-defense. In republican government, the legislative authority necessarily predominates." One may claim that the judiciary has historically been the weakest of the three branches. In fact, its…

individuals or attorneys that appear before the court. The NV judicial election process is viewed as a system that lends itself to corruption. NV’s government handles judicial removals in the following four ways. The first method is through impeachment and trial. The NV assembly impeaches a judge through a majority vote. Once impeached, the NV Senate conducts a trial in which a 2/3 vote is required to gain a conviction. If the judge is convicted, he or she is removed from the bench. The…

It consists of a total four sections which state how members of the executive branch will be elected, what the President is expected to do and the process of impeachment of any members of the executive branch. The four sections altogether, give the executive branch the power to execute the laws. Though, like Monk states, “Article II does not define the exact nature of the president’s powers. Unlike Article I, which…
